It’s essential that a nanny know what role she likes to play and that she chooses a family who is seeking a nanny to play a similar role. A nanny who enjoys planning the children’s day, for example, will not enjoy working for a mom who likes to micromanage her children’s schedule.
While the terms used around the world maybe be different, the sentiments are typically the same. When a nanny understands which model of nanny care best aligns with her approach to childcare, personal style, and comfort level, she is better able to identify positions that allow her to play the role she naturally fulfills best.
